A writer in the Kansas City jour
nal relates this anecdote of the late
John e. SAKE and his favorite daugh-
ter, Sarah. 1t was the custom of the
family to spend much of each Summer
at Saratoga. One Summer it was de-
cided that Sarah should remain at
home in charge of the younger chill
dren instead of accompanying her
parents, as had been her former Gus
tom. This decision reused the wrath
of the young lady, and awakened all
that latent obstinacy which her father
strated. Her best clothing was put
under lock and key, and her parents
departed. charging her to be a good
girl, and to content herself until their
return. The season was at its height,
and many persons brilliantly conspic-
uous in literary circles were gathered
under the flashing of the watering
place chandeliers. SAKE held his court
at one end of the saloon that August
evening, and sat conveniently facing
the entrance door, when a servant an
nounced Miss Sake" The poet rails
ed his eye-glass to behold Sarah, a
miss of 16, haughtily sweeping down
the grand parlors, dragging after her
her mothers best Winter gown of vel
vet, and glittering with her mother S
trinkets. 1t was warm work enduring
that heavy, oppressive finery, but for
three days father and daughter held
their little Independent courts at the
famous watering-place, each ignoring
the others presence clear case OF
Greek meet Greek" At the end of
that time Sarah was ANONYMOUSLY
taken home by her father and duly
punished.

A Simple Breach of Trust,

One of the simplest things even
heard of, and which was still as neat
as it was simple, was the breach of
trust of Philadelphia messenger. lie
received package of 100000 and hid
it safely away. He then went back 90
the bank which had employed him aid
told the officers that he was tired 81
being poor and that he had determint d
to use the money they had given him
to carry to certain other bank. AT
first it was thought he was drunk,
then crazy, then joking. But he sim
ply advised the officers to have him az
rested, as he intended to keep and use
the money in question. The principal
he promised eventually to return.
The officers tried to persuade him,
but without avail. He was finally ar
rested, but his only crime was breach
of trust. His declared intention of
eventually returning the money made
it almost impossible to bring his crime
under the head of any indictable of
Tense. He was finally tried for breach
of trust, and came off with two years
in the penitentiary. This occurred
about fifteen years ago. The perpetra-
tor still lives in Philadelphia and is in
comfortable circumstances, and talks
freely about his little escapade.
He still says he intends to return the
money to the bank. He had his law
yer draw up will in which he be-
queathed the 100000 to the bank, be-
ing the sum borrowed on such date,
less 81, 400, being the amount charged
for two years # enforced idleness at

1t is of ominous significance that at the
last directors meeting of the Panama
Canal company the impossibility of finish
ing the work by 1889 had to be admitted.
Count de Lesseps also has recently shown
that his astonishingly sanguine temperar
ment is no longer sustaining him as for
merly. True, his confidence dies hard, and
he makes an effort to create the impress
sion that he is a victim of commercial
rivalries. But the obvious fact is that the
condition of the canal works can no longer
be concealed from the French public. A
final appeal is being made to them. but il
cannot be made ON the old lines. Outside
of France it has long been regarded as
certain that the canal would not be COM
pleted within the time announced so often
and so pompously; and it has long been
believed, ON the authority of unprejudiced
engineers who have carefully examined
the works, that it never viii be completed
in accordance with the present plans.
Practically two-thirds of the work re-
mains to be done, and all of this is much
more difficult than that which has been
done, while some of it, as for instance
the regimen of the Chagres river, is still
an unsolved problem. The question is
whether French investors can be induced
to put more capital into an undertaking
which is now in so hopeless condition.

A TERRIBLE DISEASE.

Peculiarities of the Addiction Commonly
Called the Lockjaw-The Treatment.
The medical name for lockjaw is
tetanus. Sometimes it is only, or mainly,
the muscles of the jaws that are affected
in the disease, but commonly the rigid
condition is much more extensive, often
reaching to most of the muscles of the
body. In its severer form it is one Of the
most terrible of diseases. The mind
generally remains clear to the last, I'M
less it is blunted by opiates.
The disease begins by pinched look of
the face. In few hours the muscles OF
the jaws, neck, back and chest become
rigid. and the rigidity at length extends
to the limbs. This rigidity is permanent,
and sometimes it is 60 great that the body
could be taken up like a stick of timber,
or it may rest its weight upon its head
and feet. From time TO time spasms oc-
cur, lasting a few seconds, or several
minutes,
The seat of the trouble is in the nerves,
and hence spasm may be brought on by
a slight noise, a touch, or even a breath
of air.
As the muscles of respiration are usu-
ally affected, the breathing is greatly inn
peded, and often, for the time. rendered
wholly impossible, the chest being held
as in a wise. Death frequently results
from this cause. the system being previ-
ously exhausted by pain and lack of sleep
and nourishment. If the patient survives
beyond the twelfth day, ne is likely to
recover; but no known medicine is able
TO do more than promote sleep and be-
numb the sensibihties,
The cause is unknown. IL may follow
wounds, or be independent of wounds,
the latter being the most hopeful cases.
The wound may be either severe or slight,
but most wounds are followed by tetanus,
1t is probable that, in persons of pecu-
liar nervous susceptibility, and under GER
tain not wei understood conditions, a
poison is developed within the system.
Hence, the only hope Of cure is TO sus-
tain the patient with stimulants, nourish-
ment, and sleep until the system can
eliminate the poison.
In case of a severe wound, especially
in the neighherhood of nerve centers,
great care should be exercised in dress
ing the injury, so as to bring the parts
well together, and the parts should be
kept clean with mild carbolic acid solu-
ton, or some other good antiseptic wash.
